THE GERMAN OPERA.
Great Crowds Fill the Metropolitan
Every Night.

NEW YORK, Feb. 12.-The German
opera at the Metropolitan Opera House
draws great crowds. On Monday night,
when the last performance Of Christian
and Isolde" took place there was not a
seat in the house unOccupied The Wag.
ner fever is at its height and the Germans
are no doubt honest patrons and admirers
OF the famous musical poet, but 1t is not
so with Americans, the majorit, of whom
only like Wagner because il is the fash
ion. In truth, tits dreary business for
the average opera-goer to sit through one
of these tiresome dramatic poems. There
is no action, and very poor story. Iris
tan, in the third act takes just one hour and
ten minutes to die, and other movements
are equally sluggish. Said swell man
about town who prides himself on his
love for music and melody: sit is OF no
use; | cannot stand Wagner-there Is not
a tune in anything he's written-and if
you shut your eyes you couldn't tell one
of his operas from the other, at least l
can't, and | love music" This person
voices the opinion OF thousands who are
afraid TO give expression TO it. / watched
the occupants OF the boxes the other
night The well-dressed and low-necked
beauties who were not yawning were en-
gagged In earnest conversation with club
dandies. What was Wagner TO them or
they to Wagner. A number of the an-
dIence in the orchestra seats
seemed bored beyond expression, and
several were actually asleep while the fair
Lohmann was giving vent to her woe in
the second act, and much Of this gush
about Wagner reminds one Of Hans Chris
tian Andersen's story Of the swinders
VINO prolessed TO make gold muslin of 80
fine a texture that it could be seen through
without any difficulty. The gold was
given them and the cloth was made.
People went mad about the material, and
some dressed themselves in it,: but a
child exclaimed, "but they've got nothing
on" 1t was true, they had nothing on
and most people think tnat Wagner is not
music. IL is music for musicians; but
how one TOOL makes many eau be seen bv
the crush at the Metropolitan Opera
House. Those who really enjoy Wag-
ner's grand and noisy gloom are the Ger
mans IN the gallery.

1T RAINED CENrIPEDEs.
Scared at an Apparently Satanic
Manifestation in Mid-Ocean.


From the Near York Morning j urnay.
PHILADELPHIA, Feb. "a crowd of
panic-stricken sailors rushed into Capt.
HALLS cabin on board the schooner Lucy
I. Harvey when she was few days out
from Port-au-Prince.
"Devilsw "Snakesv "Centinedesv'
were some of the EXPLANATIONS made bv
the thoroughly frightened and supersJ-
tious tars.
He asked them the cause of their alarm,
and leading him out, they pointed to the
forward part of the deck, where over a
hundred centinedes we're writing and
crawling over each other. They had
fallen from the sky. apparently.
The cook handed out several pals of
scalding water. and Capt. Hull poured it
upon the reptiles, killing them.
The crew, after some hours of abect
terror, at last ventured to return to
work, predicting that something terrible
would occur before the voyage ended.
The Lucy L. Harvey was billed for this
port, where she arrived to-day very much
overdue.
Two days after the startling occurrence
already related the cook ran screaming
from the galley and fell upon the deck
half dead with fear. Every man OF the
crew turned pale, but determined to IN
Vestlgate the cause OF the COOKS alarm.
They ran to the galley, but fed from it
a moment later.
The galley was literally swarming with
the loathsome, poisonous reptiles. Where
they came from was mystery. Fearful
that the reptiles would sting them to
death, the crew ran up the rigging and
refused to come down.
Capt. Hall fought the centipedes for
several hours with hot water, but they
seemed to increase in numbers.
Two pigs and a big Newfoundland dog
were bitten and died In agony. During
the night terrible gale sprang up and
the cook and captain manned the schooner
alone. Although the schooner was nearly
wrecked, the heavy seas washed the CEN
tipedes overheard and cleansed the YES
sci from an affection worse than plague.
The cargo OF the schooner consisted
mainly of logwood and cedar. Capt.
Hall thinks shat the centipedes were hid
den in it. He thinks that they fell from
the maste after climbing out OF the hold
and thereby appeared to fall from the
sky.
over 200 cenuipedes are at present
heaped upon the vessels deck as curiosi-
ties.

LAKE CITY AND COLUMBIA.
VOTES from Prosperous City and
EertiIe County.

Fertile County.
LAKE CITY, FLA, Feb. 13.-Tobacco is
10 De added as another money crop in
columbia county in place of so much cot
son. The experience of last year shows
that Columbia county can produce as
good tobacco as Cuba. 1t Is estimated
that 800 pounds can be produced en- an
acre OF land. At the very low price OF
1oc. per pound it will exceed the price OF
cotton by large percentage.
Inc vegetable crop gives promise of an
abundant harvest in due season. A dis
position prevails to plant and raise more
grain. hay and stock than heretofore.
The Columbia county fair has had its
lnfuence in begetting a spirit of emula-
tlon among the farmers. Less land is TO
be planted and more attention paid to the
preparation and cultivation of the soil.
attention is to be given to crops not here
tofore cultivated. These changes give
lure among the farmer class here.
Arbor day was observed by large
k9umber of our people. The teachers and
pupils met at the public school buildings
in the forenoon and, under the direction
OF the superintendent and the teachers,
the scholars planted a large number OF
trees. The children 1855 in number) were

be fresh in their memory that they were

FIRST Arbor day in Lake City.
Several sales OF real estate have been
made lately at reasonable prices.
The Tobacco Plant and Columbia Coun-
ty Citizen is the name of a new seven
column paper published in Lake City by
E-r;aa4iyer. Its object is to encourage
the CUT of tobacco as a money crop,
which wy 10 some extent take the place
Of cotton, the latter having failed in being
any longer paying crop.
The sudden death of Mrs. n. A Hamp-
Ton, the proprietress of the Central Hotel

In Encouragement OF that once popular

Our citizens are hopeful over the pros
poet of railroad being constructed
from Macon. Ca. to Gainesville. Fla,
via Valdosta and Lake City. The recent
decision of Judge Simmons points in that
direction, and we hope those interested
in the enterprise will not allow it to lag.
II the bill in Congress appropriating
$4,000 for agricultural colleges in each
State is passed our agricultural college
mt this place will be enabled TO extend it's
usefulness and bring to its register at
least one hundred students In a short
time.
Our town Is putting on signs Of thrift.

Theatre on the FIRES site.
AdssTA, GA, Feb. 13.-The looting at

Small waists have the very highest

their statues, or even their wooden dolls.
OF which we have specimens. These lit

beautifully formed bosom and the fine
lines OF the figure, make quite an ideal
modern shape, aud would have great
success in ballroom. or even ballet

waists were given by nature or by laclng
